You can. Wrath of the Lich King is already out to download and there's already private servers to play it on.

I hope WAR will ass rape WOTLK and that Blizz will try to step up their game again. I love Blizz but there is no War in WoW and plenty of WAR in WAR.

Blizzard will keep breaking new ground and polishing their game like they have for TBC. I don't think that they'll ever really be too far behind the competition in the areas where WoW excels. Age of Conan and WAR are just taking the next logical step for the MMO market-after the huge explosion in the market due to WoW, they are starting the inevitable specialization trend to ruthlessly monopolize a niche in the market.

And yeah it's lich king release date I would imagine.

AoC isn't crap, but its not a WoW Killer. Im not sure Warhammer will either. Both AoC and War are working heavily in territory that doesn't interest 80% of WoW's subscription base.

The nice thing about MMORPGs, however, is that it doesnt take a large base to sustain the game for years, or make a sequel possible.

Its not Diablo III, its Iced Runes, a puzzle game involving runes and ice!

Every time I see death knight previews with the rune stuff they use I keep thinking how funny it would be if they could incorporate match-3 elements into the class.

I think War will do well. One of the biggest reasons I got into WoW was because I was very familiar with the franchise already. I played W2/3 religiously for a very long time, knew the races and characters etc. So I already had one foot into WoW before I even played it. Stuff like EO and FFXI doesn't interest me for many reasons like the art, but I'm also not familiar with the franchises. Warhammer is a huge, storied franchise that many people are familiar with. I bet many people who used to play the board game in high school are going to at least check out the mmo.

I gave AoC a shot, so I will give War a shot. Both AoC and War are from devs that have proven they belong as devs in the genre.

Diablo 3 will mark Blizzard's first foray into the casual gaming market. Can you spot the 10 differences in these two screenshots? Can you match all the runes before the timer runs out? How many skeletons are in this screenshot? Complete this slider puzzle in order to cast Diablo back into the abyss once again!

I'm betting my new widescreen monitor that it is the release date of WotLK, mostly because that would mean the announcement would coincide with the release of Arena Season 4 on WoW.

Or it could just be coincidence.

What model of monitor is that? I might be willing to take that bet, depending on what i have to put up against it.

CSS links to pieces of a larger image, it seems.

This is the detective work that evidently let people figure out it was the purple walrus image initially.
